Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Going App

The smart phone keeps on getting "apps,"
"Apping" its way into my life,
With all sorts of new thinking caps
To ease my daily stress and strife.
With each new "app" I get a sense
That the smart phone has on its mind
To make more sure that it frequents
My attention to it, designed
To make me need it more and more.
I feel like it is training me
To count on it whatever for.
So just how "appy" should I be?

The smarter that the phone does get,
The more it treats me like a pet.
